Stained White Radiance | James Lee Burke

2 posts | 9 read

It s impossible to think of the Louisiana bayou without conjuring up James Lee Burke s Dave Robicheaux books ("Chicago Tribune"), including this early masterwork that pits the Cajun police detective against one of the New South s most twisted and powerful forces. Oil speculator Weldon Sonnier is the patriarch of a troubled family intimately bound to the CIA, the Mob, and the Klan. Now, the murder of a cop and a bizarre assassination attempt pull Robicheaux into the Sonniers hellish world of madness, murder, and incest. But Robicheaux has devils of his own and they may just destroy the tormented investigator and the two people he holds most dear."

Fifth in the dave robicheaux series finds one of my favourite characters up against white supremacists and religious fervour as he also finds figures from his past reemerging. Great writing that vividly brings the area to life.

I can blame #whodunituk for both of these purchases! I'm going to use this post for q.2. for @MinDea 's #Humpdaypost.

Thanks @Caroline2 for choosing #TheDry - I can't seem to forget it so have bought a copy for myself!

I know the Burke isn't Billy Bob, but thought I'd try another of his series - thanks @thegirlwiththebookishcandle for the new author! I should have your parcel in the post in th next few days.
